Lagerwey was founded in the Netherlands in 1979 and stands for quality and simplicity. Lagerwey manufactures its own turbines and provides an efficient and reliable product with a complete service and maintenance package. Innovation is the core of the company's success. In the 80's they started with two-bladed turbines with a gear mechanism. In the mid-90s, they developed a three-bladed platform with a passively cooled "Direct Drive Permanent Magnet" generator. Today, Lagerwey's Modular Steel Tower (MST) is easy to transport and install, allowing for higher frame sizes, reduced costs and simplified assembly and disassembly of the turbine.
